From Rock Bottom to Successful CEO with JT McCormick - Chapter 11
Manage episode 403239611 series 3140840
JT McCormick shouldn't have succeeded.
He was born the mixed-race son of a drug-dealing pimp father and a orphaned, single mother on welfare.
He was raised in the slums of Dayton, Ohio, suffered incredible abuse and racism, and had multiple stints in the juvenile justice system. He barely graduated high school and has no college degree.
But succeed he did.
Starting by scrubbing toilets, JT hustled and worked his way into better opportunities, eventually finding incredible success in the banking and mortgage industry. He was on top of the world.
And then the mortgage industry fell apart. He lost his job, and literally all of his money. He had to borrow from his friends to make rent. He was nearly back to where he started: with nothing.
But this time, he had something that he did not have growing up in the slums of Dayton: the knowledge of what it takes to succeed. JT used this setback combined with what he learned as the springboard for him to reach even bigger heights--eventually becoming President of two multimillion-dollar companies.
Currently, JT is the President and CEO of Scribe Media.
